Carpets and the Environment?

Another surprising entry from BuildingGreenTV - green carpets?  No, I don't mean the color.  Apparently, a lot of carpets are not only bad for insulation and air circulation, but they are laid down with toxic glues.  Plus, did you know you can now recycle carpets?

We've already shared a video with you about green roofs in the Bronx.  Here is a more informative video about green roofs in particular, and specifically, about how to build them.  BuildingGreenTV is a great source for those of you out there who are handy enough to take on your own green building projects.  They really prove in this video that green roofs are just 'blooming' with benefits.
